The Black Stallion by Walter Farley - "I fell in love with this book 25 years ago. As a thirteen-year-old girl hopelessly in love with horses. I read the book with reckless abandon that only a young girl can. Thrilling to the toss of the ocean and the spray in my face, the sound of the big stallion that had everyone else fearful,the panic of being tossed about in the open ocean, the complete thankfulness of the sand once again under my feet. Walter Farley wrote his books so that anyone that reads actually feels that they themselves are there. It is a magnificant book and a magnificant seriesthat I am sure that I know by heart. Open this book, get comfortable and let the reading of it take you away to far off places and
adventures gallore. Be prepared to shed a tear for the love of another being- a horse that you will never forget." -- amazon review -- The Black Stallion (Reviewed by Ester S., 9 years old)
